One Night In Whisper... by K. Sterling
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

4.5 Stars

Before I get started, I would just like to say how much some of the words in this book moved me. One example:

"I could find you in a crowd with my eyes closed. It's never been as good as it is with you."

Magnus Deacon is a billionaire who's made a life in politics with the help of his former assistant, who was the mother of Beck Night. After Maggie's death, Magnus hope's that he will be able to rely on Beck to take her place as his assistant, but Beck has never wanted anything to do with Magnus. He's been jealous of his and Maggie's relationship his entire life. So, how much convincing will it take to show Beck that he's not an awful guy?

I loved the parallel relationship between Magnus's best friend Cade and Beck's best friend Delilah. The love was so sweet and endearing between them and their friendship really cemented this story for me.

Beck's feelings were so hidden it became painful, but when realization hits, it hits hard and fast (heh, heh, heh). And yes, there was plenty of that for your reading pleasure!

I really, truly enjoyed the second half of this book. I had a hard time getting into it, though, at the start. I kept getting confused with the pronouns. There were so many 'he' and 'his' and I got lost trying to figure out which person went with which body part. Also, the changing POV's threw me as well. It just seemed like the first section was somewhat disjointed, but then it flowed and rolled and I LOVED how the feelings were so buried, then popped like fireworks.

I'm totally going to give this another read as I feel like it's worth it.
